Morning Gooners. Y’all alreet? It’s the Europa League for us tonight and it’s another away trip, this time to Red Star Belgrade, who feel like the sort of side you’d always have to play in computer games of the 80s and 90s in European competition. A former very decorated club, that name has drifted from [...]
Well I must say I thoroughly enjoyed parts of yesterday's game. I say 'parts' because the ridiculous nature of the games being played at 6pm in away ties means that I was just finishing work as the match kicks off. I can also assure you that attempting to watch the game whilst hurtling along a [...]
It's a trip to Belarus this evening for Arsène Wenger and his charges, as Arsenal line up against BATE Borisov and I think it's fair to say that with all the will in the world, this isn't a game in which we should be seeing too many players who will play on Sunday at noon. [...]
Morning folks, hope y'all are alreet? This Thursday football, delayed kick off malarky is havoc on the ability to write content you know. Yesterday I was cream-crackered and today as I chow down on my honey and peanut crunch cereal, I have no press conference words from Wenger to have a look at and work [...]
Before one delves in to the why's and wherefore's of yesterday's victory against Cologne, I suppose the most important thing to note is that Arsenal did indeed get the victory we needed, in the end. But by golly, wasn't it hard going for us, eh? The night started off pretty grim before kick off anyway, [...]
Arsène's press conference today will be interesting, not least because despite strongly hinting at rotation for this European competition we find ourselves in this season, we still don't categorically know just how much rotation the manager intends on tomorrow evening against Cologne. Is he going to go the whole hog and switch the entire team [...]
I decided to take yesterday off from blogging, on account of a half marathon on Sunday, finished off by a booze evening thereafter. Shall we say that I was a little 'groggy' the next morning so I fancied a lie in. Of course from an Arsenal perspective little happened, unless you count the stories of [...]
Last night I dreamt that Mike Dean gave Granit Xhaka a second yellow card this weekend. That in itself isn't so surprising, but when you consider that it was for a foul throw and that in his infinite wisdom Mike had decided that he'd had enough of foul throws, it seemed a little harsh. Especially [...]
Happy Saturday Gooners. It's a saturday in which we know our fate with regards to the Europa League, so it's trips to Red Star Belgrade and BATE Borisov, as well as Cologne. The final of those teams is one that I myself and particularly excited about, as I have family in Cologne and so will [...]
The fixture lists may have been distributed out to the public over a month ago, but as one mate put it on a WhatsApp group I'm on, they weren't the 'real' fixtures, because the TV companies hadn't got their grubby mits on them. Well now they have. And it's a Friday night start to the [...]
